Hi all,
My husband (primary applicant) and I had submitted our documents after receiving AOR on 12th Jan, 2021 with upfront medicals.
I received a request for a medical examination few days ago even though it was previously submitted.
Although I assume this request for a new medical is because my previous one has passed the 1 year validity, what I don't understand is why has this request been made only for me and not my husband. His medical test was also done more than a year ago.
Has anyone else faced a similar situation ? I confirmed with the medical panel that my test was submitted successfully.
Below is a snippet of the letter received :
